After a week, Qin Xi brought back a telegram from Jigu Commune which brought joy to everyone. Qin Shouren's household registration had been transferred, and his job had been secured. The telegram concluded with instructions for his son to wait for a letter.
Half a month later, a large package arrived.
Qin Xi happened to go to Grandpa Li's house to help pick up the grains and some oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar that Mr. Lan had helped to collect, and brought the package back as well.
Upon returning, the package was opened directly on the warm brick bed of Grandpa Li's house.
First, there was a letter inside, which Qin Xi quickly flipped through, while Li Xianglu stared blankly at a packet of pastries inside the package — they were even in a paper box, which looked very sophisticated.
